About this item:

This is the debut release from Texas noise-pop quartet Ringo Deathstarr.

With comparisons to My Bloody Valentine, The Jesus & Mary Chain and The Telescopes amongst others. And descriptions like "Shoegaze Texas style" along with great reviews from all corners of the globe and supporting slots with The Dandy Warhols this group will almost certainly be a name to be reckoned with very soon.

Reviews

"the use of feedback, fuzzed up layers, and lazy stoned vocals all combine in a harmony filled rush of a few minutes to provide the best pop high imaginable."
@ I Really Love Music


"Ringo Deathstarr are one of the most exciting new discoveries in years and, should the nu-gaze scene come to fruition as it keeps on threatening to do, they'll be heading it up."
@ Culture Deluxe Single of the Week.


"Their feedback inspired chainsaw like guitars produce a tonic for ones ears."
@ Indie MP3


"It's music to be played loud - really, really fucking loud, so that it all
just shakes its way through your skeleton as you stand there trembling
slightly and wondering if music this loud is actually physically safe.
Ah, fuck the neighbours."
@ Song, by Toad


"At first listen, the songs come across as a massive wall of sound.
However, the music is deceptive, because you realize that tucked into
the immensity of the sound is a vulnerability, only it's all wrapped up
inside huge guitar chords, powerful drumming, and vocals that are
hiding in a haze just beneath the surface."
@ Lost In Your Inbox


"This EP can only be described as a critical buy"
"easily has the breadth of vision and sheer beauty that Shields et al possessed at their once dizzy heights."
"It is five stars all the way, and then some."
@ And Before The First Kiss


"Their pulsing layers of feedback and those droll, deadpan vocals are ripped straight from Psychocandy, but the galloping, amphetamine rhythms are harder charging than even the most amped up track on that album."
@ Pitchfork


"everybody basically just plays two chords"
interview @ Austinist


"It's such a joy to listen to. It will annoy the hell out of some people,
divide friends, cause frictions between couples. And quite possibly
split ageing indie kids down the middle in the 'OK who's side are you
on? 'cos you're now working for a living, stopped being veggie, and
have a CD player in your car, you bloody sellout!' kinda way.
That's what music should do. "
@ 17 Seconds


"Every once in a while we advise you to everything and check something out. This is one of those times. Check out one of the latest signings to Spoilt Victorian Child Records, Ringo Deathstarr. Do it. Do it."
